I got mine - I think on the 10th. The retail box is really small and it was shipped in a padded envelope. Got in with the $30 Buy.com card. I also had a 10% coupon emailed to me ("we've noticed you haven't placed an order lately...") but wouldn't let me apply both. Still, $120 shipped is an awesome deal. I get 3509 3DMark06, FWIW. The card looks really sharp in black. The fan is pretty noisy once it spins up - much noisier than the eVGA 7600GT that I also bought. One major issue I'm having is that the card doesn't fit right in my case. My case has these plastic "toolless" clips to hold in expansion cards. Well, the XFX card has an aluminum piece running the length of the card which interferes with the clip, so basically I'm using the card without it being secured in the case. My solution to this issue plus the noise is to change coolers, then swap it with the other 7600GT in my wife's system.
